SQL count one field two times in select with different parameters - sql

Question

I like to have my query count one column two times in my select based on the value. So for example.
input: table
id | type
-------------|-------------
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 2
4 | 2
5 | 2
output: query (in 1 row, not two):
countfirst = 2 (two times 1)
countsecond = 3 (three times 2)
An default count in an select counts all rows in the query. But i like to count rows based
on an number without limiting the query. When using for example WHERE type = '1', type 2
gets filtered and cannot be counted anymore.
Is there an solution for this case in SQL?
--- EXAMPLE USE (situation above is simplefied but case is the same) ---
With one query i get all cars grouped by type from an table. There are two type signs: yellow (in db 1) and grey (in db 2). So in that query i have the folowing output:
Renault - ten times found - two yellow signs - eight grey signs

Answer 1

Create a table, script is given below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[temptbl](
[id] [int] NULL,
[type] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Execute the insert script as
insert into [temptbl] values(1,1)
insert into [temptbl] values(2,1)
insert into [temptbl] values(3,2)
insert into [temptbl] values(4,2)
insert into [temptbl] values(5,2)
Then execute the query.
;WITH cte as(
SELECT [type], Count([type]) cnt
FROM temptbl
GROUP BY [type]
)
SELECT * FROM cte
pivot (Sum([cnt]) for [type] in ([1],[2])) as AvgIncomePerDay

You can use the GROUP BY clause as Mureinik suggested, but with the addition of a WHERE clause to filter the results.
Below shows the results for type = 1 (assuming type is an INT:
SELECT type, COUNT(*) AS NoOfRecords
FROM table
WHERE type IN (1)
GROUP BY type
So if we wanted 1 and 2 we can use:
SELECT type, COUNT(*) AS NoOfRecords
FROM table
WHERE type IN (1, 2)
GROUP BY type
Lastly, that IN statement can pull type from another query:
SELECT type, COUNT(*) AS NoOfRecords
FROM table
WHERE type IN (SELECT type FROM someOtherTable)
GROUP BY type
